While teaching a child to swim is valuable and can potentially reduce the risk of drowning, it does not eliminate the risk entirely. Even proficient swimmers, especially young children, should always have adult supervision near water.

This statement is not entirely accurate. Accidental drownings can occur in various water bodies, including pools, bathtubs, and even small containers of water.

While placing a fence around a pool is an important safety measure, it is not the only precaution necessary. Adult supervision is still crucial, and the fence alone may not guarantee safety if a child gains access to the pool area.

Correct. Premature infants may face additional stressors and vulnerabilities, which can sometimes contribute to a higher risk of physical maltreatment. This is an important consideration in the assessment of suspected maltreatment.

Myopia (nearsightedness) is a visual impairment and is not directly associated with an increased risk of physical maltreatment.

Acute otitis media (ear infection) is a common childhood ailment and is not directly linked to an increased risk of physical maltreatment.

Roseola infantum is a common viral illness in infants and young children, but it is not considered a notifiable infectious disease.

Fifth disease, caused by parvovirus B19, is typically a mild viral illness in children and is not classified as a notifiable infectious disease.

Scabies is a parasitic infestation, not an infectious disease. It is caused by the Sarcoptes scabiei mite and is not considered notifiable.

A subdural hematoma may not directly affect the fontanels. Depressed fontanels can be a sign of dehydration or other underlying conditions, but they are not specifically associated with a subdural hematoma.

A subdural hematoma would not typically cause a decrease in body temperature. This finding may be related to other factors, but it is not a characteristic sign of a subdural hematoma.

While a weak cry can be an indication of distress or illness in an infant, it is not a specific sign of a subdural hematoma. Other assessments, including neurological signs, are crucial in evaluating the infant's condition.

Hypersomnia (excessive sleepiness) is not a typical finding in Cushing's syndrome. Instead, children with Cushing's syndrome may experience insomnia or disrupted sleep patterns.

Hypotension (low blood pressure) is not a characteristic finding in Cushing's syndrome. Elevated blood pressure is more commonly associated with this condition.

Rapid weight loss is not a typical finding in Cushing's syndrome. Instead, children with Cushing's syndrome may experience weight gain, particularly in the face (moon face), abdomen, and upper back.

Tying shoelaces is a fine motor skill that is typically developed later, around 5-6 years of age.

Skipping on alternate feet is a gross motor skill that is typically developed around 4-5 years of age.

Naming the days of the week is a cognitive skill that is typically developed later, around 5-6 years of age. It involves not only memory but also an understanding of the concept of days and their order.

Giving the infant a bottle immediately before bedtime can actually exacerbate gastroesophageal reflux, as lying down right after feeding can increase the likelihood of regurgitation.

Switching to a soy-based formula is not the first-line intervention for gastroesophageal reflux. Additionally, soy-based formulas are not recommended for all infants and should be used under specific circumstances.

Limiting formula feedings to every 6 hours may not be appropriate for a 2-month-old infant, as they typically require more frequent feedings for proper growth and development.

While hand sanitizer is useful for killing many types of bacteria and viruses, it may not be as effective against Clostridium difficile spores. Washing hands with soap and water is preferred.

Placing the toddler in a negative-airflow room is not necessary for managing Clostridium difficile diarrhea. Standard precautions and proper hygiene are sufficient.

Loperamide is not typically recommended for managing Clostridium difficile diarrhea, as it may worsen the condition by slowing down the bowel motility. The primary treatment is discontinuing the antibiotic that caused the infection and, in some cases, using specific
antibiotics to target the C. difficile bacteria.

Providing detailed information about the procedure is important, but the first step in obtaining informed consent is to ensure that the parent understands the information. This can be achieved by assessing their understanding.

Discussing the benefits of the procedure is part of providing information for informed consent, but it should come after assessing the parent's understanding.

Explaining the risks associated with the procedure is important, but the first step is to ensure the parent comprehends this information, which can be achieved through assessment.

Wrapping the extremity loosely with an elastic bandage may provide support but is not specifically aimed at reducing swelling.

Applying warm compresses can be beneficial for some types of injuries, but for a sprained wrist, cold compresses are more effective in reducing swelling.

Encouraging active range of motion may be important for rehabilitation, but it is not the initial intervention for minimizing swelling in the first 12 to 24 hours after a sprain.
